Daily NHL Betting Guide – 12/18/22

Welcome to our Betting Guide brought to you by NHL Betting site Betway!
Getting a little skin in the game can make watching NHL hockey even more exciting.
During the 2022-23 season, Daily Faceoff will help you become an improved bettor thanks to this betting model and our betting tools.
NHL MODEL PICKS
Each day we will look at each game, the Sportsbook Odds (via Betway), and the odds of each team winning based on the model created by Philip Bulsink. Based on those two numbers, we can quickly identify which teams we need to bet on, which teams to avoid and which lines to keep an eye on throughout the day.
You can quickly determine which teams are the best bets by following this simple table:

I will also provide some analysis on the best bets and update this post throughout the day to point out big injury news, lineup changes, and backup goalies starting.
The number to keep an eye on is the “Diff.” which is the percentage difference between the model’s projected Win% and the projected Win% based on PointsBet odds. To find out how odds turn into percentages, use our Odds Calculator.

BETTING GUIDE PRESENTED BY BETWAY
Season-to-date
- Record: 49-34
- Units: +25.64
- ROI: +29.81%
Recommended Bets
Winnipeg Jets (@ SEA) ML +144
Typically I would avoid model picks when the team is on a back-to-back, but when there’s this much value, I will make an exception. The Jets are +144 road underdogs but the model likes them at -107. Even if you downgrade them a bit because of the back-to-back and David Rittich starting, there’s still like 20 cents worth of value on them at +144.
1 Unit Bet: WPG ML +144
